    Historical Site & landmark where a massacre of over 500 people & a battle with the Creek Indians…read morehappened in 1813 when Alabama was part of Mississippi Territory prior to becoming a US state in 1819. Originally, the site was part of the Mims Plantation, and had settlers of mixed Indian heritage, Creoles, slaves, & other early Americans. Mims had a blockhouse built, but it was no match for over 700 Red Stick Creek Indians that invaded & massacred the majority of the people there. There are many historical information plaques throughout the park & a reconstruction fort/ blockhouse. There is a small locked museum in the park, but I think it is only open for events. The park has several electric hookups for RVs & events. Park was pet friendly, dogs allowed, but I was the only one there. You have to drive through a small trailer hime community to access the park. I did not see any restrooms or drinking fountains, I am assuming they have that brought in during the August reenactment of the battle every year. I am not going to lie, this place very haunted & super natural considering the loss of life & energy here. Supposedly, when reinforcements made it in to the area a week later in 1813, there was so many dead, they put most of them down the well & buried there. There are memorials listing the dead from all sides. It feels creepy. But it is a part of history, like it or not. This location is WAY OUT IN THE STICKS OFF THE BEATEN PATH, FYI.

    This is a great public space with the amenities fitting of its name. If you have littles, then just…read moreknow it is an outstanding, safe play area that fosters inclusion and welcomes all. There are walking trails that go through the woods, an off-leash dog area, and multiple mixed-use sportsball/athletic fields. On hot days, the splash pad area is the place to be, making for a safe space for kids and families to cool off and enjoy the sun. The frisbee disc golf course is one of the real hooks to the park, nicely laid out and maintained, and providing differing levels of challenge. Public restrooms are all around, the playground and splash pad area have soft landing spots, and it is generally well lit and safe all through the park. There are even several canopy areas with tables, allowing for picnics or other gathering use and mostly just to get out of the Alabama sun. Get out and enjoy the greenspace, Mobile, it's a beautiful place.

    This park is very popular and in a good area of town.

There is a small gymnasium for gymnastics in the MAWSS water tower. Parking is decent, but I have never visited on game days. ALOT of people walking and running. Park is open from dawn to dusk like all other parks in Mobile. The playground is the best of all the parks in my opinion. It is fairly busy, but not so much that would make you visit elsewhere.
